@hopeful33250 - I used to be constipated till I started taking psyllium fibre (generic Metamucil). I started with 1 teaspoonful and worked up to two tablespoonsful over several weeks. I have had no problem with constipation since - but when I miss a dose, I feel the difference! Psyllium fibre takes a couple of days to take effect when started.

I appreciate the reminder about psyllium fiber (Metamucil), @rashida. Yes, is a great product for chronic constipation. It does, as you say, take a few days to take effect and it's a good idea to stick with it each day so you don't lose its effectiveness.

Have you been bothered by constipation for a long time, now?
